[Thunder1]

Hi all have an assessment with autos on Thursday morning for my pip. I am realy worried as people don't take fybramialgia seriously 😑. Wish me luck 😞.

Good luck for Thursday. I really hope you get a good assessor. Some people on here have managed to get awards with fibromyalgia so don't be disheartened.

Hi Thunder1

I have pasted for you below an excerpt and a link to the *CAB guide on ''Preparing for your PIP assessment'' so I sincerely hope that you find this useful:

*Talking about how your condition affects you

*You should be prepared to talk about how your condition affects you even if you’ve already detailed it on your PIP claim form. It can be hard to do this but it will really help if you can talk about:

the kind of things you have difficulty with, or can’t do at all - for example, walking up steps without help or remembering to go to appointments

how your condition affects you from day to day

what a bad day is like for you - for example, ‘On a bad day, I can’t walk at all because my injured leg hurts so much’ or ‘On a bad day, I’m so depressed I can’t concentrate on anything’

It’s a good idea to take a copy of your PIP claim form with you. That way you can refer to it in the assessment and make sure you tell the assessor everything you want them to know about your condition.

*Observations on what you say and do during the assessment

*The assessor will use the information you gave on your PIP claim form but also draw opinions from what you say and do on the day. For example, they might ask you how you got to the assessment centre. If you say you came on the bus, they’ll make a note that you can travel alone on public transport.

You might also be asked to carry out some physical tasks during the assessment. Don’t feel you have to do things in the assessment that you wouldn’t normally be able to do. If you do them on assessment day, the assessor may think you can always do them. If you’re not comfortable with something - say so.

*Preparing for your PIP assessment:

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck with your assessment. Please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Wishing you all the very best for Thursday. PMA helps, well that's what I TRIED to have when I had my Assessment 7 WEEKS ago!!!

I have had the usual text message, plus a letter stating they have all the evidence and would send me the decision as soon as possible. BUT are extending my DLA in the mean time, so I don't miss any payments!!! Anyone else had this response?

Whoops sorry for hyjacking your post. Wishing you all the very best again.
